Ten best digital transformation companies

If you’re going to attempt to choose the ten best digital transformation companies it is first vital to understand exactly what digital transformation means. The first thing to realize is that digital transformation is extremely important. According to statistics published by Gartner in 2021, 72% of data and analytics leaders are heavily involved in or actually leading digital transformation initiatives within their organizations. In other words, if you’re in business then there’s a very good chance that your competitors are embracing digital transformation as a means of increasing their leverage in the marketplace. What follows from this is that if you fail to take the same approach then you’re likely to find your organization being left behind.   

What is digital transformation?

In simple terms, digital transformation involves introducing technologies across an organization in order to improve the operation of everything from technical and engineering processes to client services, payment processing, billing and supply chain management. In fact, the digital revolution which has taken place across virtually every type of industry in the last few years is such that there are virtually no aspects of day to day operation which can’t be improved by digital transformation. 

The advantages of digital transformation are clear to anyone who has automated aspects of their business which were previously time and investment heavy, but transformations of this kind aren’t easy to carry out. By its very nature, the act of rolling out digital transformation across all or even a majority of the functions of a business is likely to be highly disruptive if not handled correctly. Even more damaging is the very real prospect – without expert advice and intervention – of digital transformation actively damaging the way in which an organization operates. That’s why many organizations opting to embrace digital transformation choose to do so with the help of digital transformation companies, also known as digital transformation consultancies.
